KU Winter Fashion Scene
KU LOOK—Marcia Myers, Topeka junior, proves the outfit holds first place in KU fashion. Favored is this sleeveless dress and jacket in double-knit weave by Bobbie Brooks.
Couturier-Look Came to KU Liked It, and Stayed
Winter fashions have not just come from couturier to KU. They have enrolled here, too.
The look of gentle fit and of fluid movement distinguishes KU's winter fashion silhouette. Dresses and suits are softly fitted with flare interest at the skirts.
and often carry their own suit-look jackets.
The classic look in sportswear is retained in long-legged pants and casually worn tunic overblouses. Easy to wear capes, often reversible, lend a dash to the casual way of life. Skirts are gently flared. And pleats are evident everywhere.
The costume look is everywhere. The dress and coat costume is more important than ever using coordinate colorings, compatible textures and harmonious cut. Jackets are inching down. Dresses go sleeveless, even in smart daytime wools
The hottest fashion color this winter is magenta, a blue-red that becomes everyone. Burnished browns and reds are also big. Greens change from mouldy, mossy, cool woodland shades for day to blazing acid tones for evening.
KU Men Offer Fashion View
At the beginning of each season, women all over the world scrutinize fashion magazines to decide whether to raise or lower hem-lines and choose the latest wardrobe colors. Then they dash to the hair-dresser to experiment with the newest hair styles.
By Pam Christiansen
The world of women's fashion depends on men's opinion and here are those of five KU men on women's fashions on this campus.
Rogers Worthington, New York junior; "I don't like those funny little ribbons girls wear above their foreheads." He also said he does not care for "beehive" hairdres. Short knee-dresses appeal to him providing the woman wears heels and doesn't have "knobby knees."
Clarence Awaya, Honolulu, Hawaii, junior: "I dig jumpers and the French hairdo." He likes women to wear slimjims and overblouses with ropes around the waist. He doesn't like the "behave."
Herb Smith, Memphis, Tenn.
sophomore. "I don't like short dresses. They make most girls look like Robin Hood." He prefers slimjims, sheath dresses, and long hairdos. "I just like girls to look tail and slim," he said .
Bill Hargrave, Kansas City senior:
"I like short, short skirts and leotards if the girl looks nice in them."
He doesn't like full skirts on any woman. He thinks more women should dress in becoming clothes whether or not they happen to be in style.
Dan Ashbaugh, Shawnee, Ohio, junior: "I haven't had much time to notice women's clothes. Naturally, everyone likes short skirts, though." He does like the "beehive" and thinks that women "know what they're doing" in the fashion world.
Recollections of a UDK Editor —
(Continued from page 3)
(Continued from page 3)
when a couple of girls I had never seen before walked in and sat down opposite me.
"Hi there," I said, thinking they were sorority messengers with urgent news of a recent pinning. "What can I do for you?"
I glanced over the copy and the first of the articles appeared to be well done. Looking up, I asked,
"How did he happen to assign this to you?"
THE TALLER ONE looked at her companion, then produced a folder from behind her handbag. "Mr. Mencher told me to have this in by this morning. It's a three-part series on the University budget."
"I work here," she said. "This is my second semester."
"Oh," I said. "And your friend. Is she a reporter to?"
The other girl was a little embarrassed. "I'm one of the editors," she said. "I graduate in June."
"SAY." I SAID, looking over by the door where several of the others had appeared, "I could use a little help. Why don't you try your hand at this?"
I gave her the other girl's article and walked over to the new arrivals. Yocom, Husar and Harrison were matching for coffee. "Hey Doug," I said, quietly. "You know those girls ever there?"
He glanced toward the desk. "Seen

I NEVER DID find out who they were, although they always did a lot of work on the days I played editor in the following months. I had intended to ask their names as I was walking back to the desk, but Miller came running in with the building fund story and I got busy.

Mencher came in with a proof of page one, dropped it on the desk, and turned toward the door.
"THAT'S A HELLUVA good page," he said. Walking off down the corridor busily looking over a new stack of proofs for the following day, he yelled back over his shoulder, "I gave you an A for the day. Try getting here on time next week."
Like I may have said earlier, ours was not the taughtest ship on the seas, but it never went under.

Milady Prefers Her Fashions Wild
No doubt about it, wild animals have never been tamer than this year. Women are demanding bird, beast and reptile as permanent companions (that is, of course, as companion pieces).
Milady finds the bird a companion in feathered hats, feathered trims and feathered accessories. The much heard "maribou" is the soft and elongated tail and wing feathers of the stork, Mr. Stork thus delivering to madame glamour by the yard as well as you-know-what.
Ostrich feathers can be found on hats or, especially attractive and feminine, on the hemline of a chiffon dress. But any way that it is worn, one knows Milady must have feathers this winter, else the feathers will be flying.
Fur is either one of Milady's household or outdoor pets. Fur can be worn in any way. As coats, jackets, accessories or trims, it is limited only by one's imagination. Fake fur is especially smart for lounge wear in the new sophisticated long skirts.
Milady has found another escort she would never have thought could dress fashionably enough to accompany her to the theater. This is Mr. Practical Pig who is joining the weightless suede, the mat-finish kidskin, snake skin, antelope and sueded calfskin on the fashion scene.
Milady likes leather. The suede pigskin has resiliency, body and Scotchgard finish to lend it to many dashing interpretations of the dressy or sporting look. Dresses form completed costumes with leather jacket toppers or coats. Shapes are primarily relaxed and liquid.
Look-Alikes Extended to Include Pets
A canine putting his best paw forward now must wear a coat matching his owner's. The matchmates were shown by New York's leading feminine and canine models during a fashion show at the recent Newspaper Food Editor's Conference. A pattern company designed 14 coats for chic pets to match its fall collection of women's fashions. Among best dressed dogs were a Russian wolfhound sporting a mon-
grammed red fleece coat with black braid trim and a Scottie dressed in a fringed clan plaid coat.
It is smart to plan a winter in laminated coats. Look ahead to Kansas' unpredictable weather—laminates cannot be fooled. What a nice keep-me-warm look.
There are currently 60 shades of mink with new mutations being bred each year.
